Chapter 428: The Threat of the Holy Son of Pure Water

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Two figures flashed in the sky, creating an astonishing tide of energy, crashing against the ocean phenomenon and the illusory time and space.

“Dual Slice Strike!”

Yun Ye’s pupils seemed to burn with flames, changing colors as he wielded the Ming Rihui Sword to strike out a Red Light against the Dao Artifact of the Holy Son of Pure Water.

The Holy Son of Pure Water constantly performed spells, and an indescribable sense of crisis surged within Yun Ye. He knew the Holy Son had activated the True Laws.

“Essence of Fire: Chaos!”

“Essence of Water: Ultimate Softness!”

“Fusion of Essences!”

“Annihilation!”

Bringing together the Three Major Techniques, Yun Ye could once again use the Essence, directly nullifying a vast range of extraordinary powers and greatly weakening the True Laws of the Holy Son of Pure Water.

With the Essence, Yun Ye held his ground against the Holy Son, who had transcended realms. Meanwhile, the formations set up by the practitioners in the rear became a continuous source of power for him; in terms of energy reserves, Yun Ye was not weaker than the Holy Son, allowing him to hold on for a long time.

The more they fought, the more the Holy Son sensed how troublesome this man was.

With a cultivation level entering the Mystic Realm, he battled against Yun Ye using the formations, but the power of the New Dao was too domineering, far exceeding understanding.

Before this man, even he could only barely contend with a real person. He could only win when using the Ascension of the Heavenly Path while the opponent wasn’t.

Every realm should act as barriers, requiring countless powers to gather to cross over.

Yet since the emergence of the New Dao, while it was still difficult for those in the Mystic Realm to fend off those in the True Realm, practitioners of the Mortal Realm could defeat those of the spiritual realm, and those of the spiritual realm could counter those in the law realms—it had become common.

In just a hundred years, while he had not even taken the first step on the road of the True Realm, his opponent had already found a way to form formations to resist real beings.

If not for the existence of the super formations, the Pure World Holy Land would likely have been destroyed long ago.

This rapid development was truly frightening!

“Gathering the powers of the five elements, transforming everything into one!”

“One corner of the sky is missing; let me fill it!”

A hundred practitioners who had entered the evolution state lent their power to Yun Ye, unleashing a force of the Three Major Techniques, as beams of light adorned them like divine crowns and divine robes!

Spirit Law solidified the spirit!

Physical Law solidified the body!

Spiritual Law solidified the world!

With the Three Major Techniques united, the self and the world could become one!

“I can perform the Formation of Heaven’s Command!”

The ocean phenomenon suddenly vanished, and Mystic Heaven descended. Within that Mystic Heaven, Yun Ye’s presence loomed large. With one finger pointed, the heavens and earth reversed, making the Holy Son of Pure Water feel as though he was mere dust, incredibly small. He found himself bound in myriad shackles with no strength to move; this all-encompassing suppression from spirit to body revealed a fierce expression on the face of the Holy Son.

“Ming Waiyang, do not go too far! Now that the two continents of heaven and earth have unified, the world divides into two, and the arena of competition has already begun to expand. Once it reaches us, the magnificent might of heaven could descend at any moment, turning your New Dao to ash! Do you really think that destroying my Pure World Holy Land will ensure your survival?!”

“Heavenly Path! Ascend!”

The Holy Son of Pure Water displayed a fierce look, his tone filled with anger as he entered his strongest state, forcibly breaking the suppression and using great magical power to destroy most of Yun Ye’s power.

Within the formation, numerous practitioners spat out blood and staggered back, with only a few in the Mystic Realm managing to withstand the force, preventing the formation from collapsing.

“Qi! Heaven Obeys My Command!”

Yun Ye activated the True Immortal magic, struggling to fight back. Although he remained at a disadvantage and coughed up blood after each attack, he did not hesitate. His goal was to hold out until the Ascension of the Heavenly Path of the Holy Son of Pure Water ended. He even taunted, “Whether I can survive is a matter for the future. Destroying the Pure World Holy Land is what I should do now. If I can’t even destroy the Pure World Holy Land, do you expect to just wait for the Celestial Empire to unify and come suppress us?”

“You know the Celestial Empire is still so rampant. Once it unifies, your struggles will be in vain! Moreover, do not push us too far. You wield True Immortal magic yet were born in such a remote place. Heh, if this information spreads, what does it matter if you have obtained the right to use True Immortal magic? The celestial clans will not allow you to live; you can only die!” the Holy Son of Pure Water replied coldly.

“I fear the might of the celestial clans, but you should too,” Yun Ye frowned. His offensive momentarily halted; the Holy Son had indeed struck a nerve.

True Immortal magic was a treasure no one dared to touch, especially not for a major power like the Luo Dynasty.

Let alone inform the celestial clans; even notifying neighboring countries could bring a massive force to besiege the Tomorrow Nation, pushing its strategic goals further out of reach.

Seizing this moment of hesitation, the Holy Son of Pure Water evaporated his True Essence and pierced through Mystic Heaven to leave, leaving behind just one sentence:

“If you wish to destroy us, dying together is also an option.”

Yun Ye made several attempts to block him, but as the Holy Son stepped into the True Realm, the interference of space was too strong. Even the Heavenly Intent: Transforming Dark Eternal Silence only managed to injure him, failing to leave a lasting mark.

After pondering for a brief moment, Yun Ye shook his head:

“Continue the attack!”

The biggest problem for the Tomorrow Nation was insufficient resources. If they waited for the population to decrease naturally, it would take two hundred years. By then, even if the Celestial Empire hadn’t unified and fell into a stalemate, the Tomorrow Nation’s resources would have long been exhausted.

Without resources, the Tomorrow Nation could not develop and would only waste time.

Thus, even if the Holy Son spoke grandiloquently,

the Tomorrow Nation had no choice but to attack!

What Yun Ye wanted was not temporary peace!

…

This war lasted many years, and the Pure World Holy Land showed a clear disadvantage. This prompted the Luo Dynasty to feel the danger, sending Que Yu to assist, and even the Lord of Luo intervened.

Though the super formations of the two sides were not connected, a real person could already siphon massive energy. One person equaled a nation, and during short battles, there was no need for the super formation to provide support. This characteristic allowed the two major powers to coordinate their strengths, keeping Yun Ye’s years of attacks fruitless.

However, the Tomorrow Nation had the initiative. So after ending their attacks, the two major powers did not dare to invade again and re-entered a period of recuperation.

In the following decades, occasionally, Honored Positions would fall, and top-level practitioners would attempt to break through the Royal Path, aiming to connect the three heavens.

The phenomenon of their breakthroughs was visible throughout the entire Red Heaven realm, splendid and breathtaking, with sacred songs echoing through the world. But unfortunately, most failed amidst lightning, ambushes, and various disasters, with some even perishing outright, transforming into vast amounts of spirit energy to nourish the world.

Even though Yun Ye was not present, he could still clearly sense the immense killing intent contained within these failed examples.

To break through the Royal Path meant to stand against the top practitioners of the entire world, requiring the strength to suppress the world even before the breakthrough!

Advancing to the Royal Path only made that strength even more terrifying and indisputable.

The current Red Heaven realm had clearly fallen into a stalemate, and truly extraordinary figures had yet to emerge. Those in Honored Positions, who were confident in their unmatched abilities, had tried to break through but all met their end, with no one sweeping through the world to become emperor.

“Any one of them could easily crush the three provinces. Luckily, I was born in the Luo Dynasty, where the strongest are only in the True Immortal status. Otherwise, it could be said there’s absolutely no possibility of reaching this level in five lifetimes.”

Yun Ye shook his head repeatedly.
